I read Tim Powers' Expiration Date a year or two before American Gods won the Hugo so when I read AG, I was so utterly underwhelmed by it.
Powers is brilliant at letting the fantasy elements creep into what so far appears to be the familiar world until it dawns on the protagonist (and the reader) that things are not what they seem.
While Gaiman just kind of clumsily drops it in front of you. Which is how I know the Hugo voters hadn't read Powers.
Anyway, Expiration Date by Tim Powers
